They have really struggled to shut down games in the fourth corner. That's the area I think they need to improve in to translate metrics into results imo.
For sure.... but when you have talent like PG, Russ & Melo you would think they should eventually get it sorted before the playoffs...
I think take away the score and the theatrics from Russ & KD...
What this game really showed me was that OKC legitimately have the defensive line up with Russ, PG, Roberson & Adams to stop the GSW and all their firepower.
And once again the Warriors just cannot handle Adams’ size, strength and athleticism at the 5.
Normally they can get away with running Draymond or KD at the 5 and go small to get rid of most big men... but Adams is so athletic for a big man he can switch to the perimeter if needed.
I mean... I’ve seen him easily guard Curry on the perimeter... which is phenomenal for a guy of his size considering how nasty Curry’s handle is...
It all basically means that if the Warriors want to go small Draymond has to go against Adams in the paint... which is why Draymond always goes missing... or does something stupid.
He just dominates on the boards to the point they have to bring in Zaza or McGee.
As I’ve said way back in this thread... Adams is the key for OKC to beat the GSW.
